New information: When starting the shell, it claims that hard disks are mounted under /target. But such a directory does not exist.
The hard disk is detected - but under /dev/discs/disc0/disc. Issuing ln -s /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/hda makes fdisk recognize the partition table. But the partitioner still does not find it, and I do not know how to fix this from the shell. To proceed with the installation, I have to format the new Debian partition and set mountpoints- but how do I do this without the partitioner? I appreciate any hint on how to install Sarge on this system, but without help I give up for the moment concluding that the installer is not mature yet. :( Matthias -------------------------------------------- GN Otometrics -- Hortmann Dipl.Phys.
